Answer 1

The problem can be sloved .. Please make following changes to "PDFHandler.java"..

    try {
        context = JAXBContext.newInstance(EmployeeData.class,Employee.class);
        Marshaller m = context.createMarshaller();
        m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE);
        m.marshal(data, outStream);
    } catch (JAXBException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }

And generated pdf will be placed in this location (in windows 7 os ) "C:\Users\narendar.g\AppData\Local\Temp" like 13891730308241855417914089056114.pdf
